Hearing Yun Yun tell him to go about his business, and considering he had indeed been away for too long—plus he had gotten to see her as he wished—it was time for him to head back.
Thus, with a touch of reluctance, he left the live streaming room. After putting away his phone, he rallied his spirits and threw himself back into his work wholeheartedly.
After he left, the bullet comments in the live streaming room instantly became lively:
【(19) Xinxin Lights the Lamp: No way! He actually came to pick her up after work? That’s so romantic!】
【(6) {1} Loves Hamburgers and Fries: Ahhhhh, Your Majesty y, you’re too romantic! Coming to pick up Yun Yun after work every day!】
【(17) I’m Really Not a Fool: This is way too romantic! Picking her up after work with a romantic carriage!】
【(7) Spicy Boiled Fish: Boss y, you really are a romantic man!】
After y left, it took a while longer for the bullet comments about him in the live streaming room to gradually die down. Then, as usual, the Stage PK continued as always.
Just as y had said, he didn’t appear in the live streaming room again by the time Yun Yun finished work.
But when Yun Yun got off work, she still mentioned y: “Babies, I’m heading home on the romantic carriage y-ge sent! See you all tomorrow!”
Live streaming room bullet comments:
【(6) Overflowing with Luck: Bye, Yun Yun! See you tomorrow.】
【(18) {7} Gotta Live Happily: Baby Yun Yun, I’m so reluctant to see you go. See you tomorrow, baby.】
【(10) {3} ppppp: Okay, hurry and take that romantic carriage home. You worked hard today, Yun Yun!】
【(6) Emo Bei Bei: Am I the only one curious about what gift His Majesty y will bring to pick her up tomorrow? Hahaha.】
This bullet comment seemed to hit home for many people in the live streaming room, so lots of them chimed in, supporting it.
【(7) South of the Southern Mountain: @Emo Bei Bei, you’re not alone! I’m super curious too!】
【(16) {7} Seaweed Kelp Soup: @Emo Bei Bei: I’m curious too.】
【(19) {3} Radish Isn’t a Turnip: @Emo Bei Bei: Sis, you spoke my mind. Soulmate.】
【(6) Egg Tarts Are Delicious: @Emo Bei Bei: +1, I’m also very curious.】
By then, Yun Yun had already finished work, so she didn’t see everyone’s curious bullet comments.
After ending the stream, following her usual routine, Yun Yun sent private messages one by one to thank everyone who had sent her gifts today.
Since she already had y’s WeChat, she didn’t send him a private message but planned to message him on WeChat instead.
However, as she stared at y’s WeChat profile picture, she couldn’t help but feel stuck.
After all, y had told her before that she didn’t need to say thank you to him. But he had sent her so many gifts today—she couldn’t just act like nothing happened.
If she really did that, her conscience probably wouldn’t let her rest.
Yet, if she didn’t send a thank-you, what exactly should she send? Lost in these thoughts, Yun Yun arrived home without even realizing it.
But even after getting home, she still hadn’t figured out what to send.At that moment, a clever idea suddenly flashed through Yun Yun’s mind. Y only forbade her from saying “thank you,” so couldn’t she just say “thank you” in English instead?
This way, she would avoid using the word “thank you” while still successfully expressing her gratitude. She felt like she was a little genius.
So, Yun Yun wrote: thank you, Y-ge, for the gifts you sent me today. The Romantic Carriage is really beautiful, I like it a lot. Also, thank you, Y-ge, for coming to see me even though you were so busy today. You said you wouldn’t come, but you still did.
And so, a WeChat message filled with gratitude but without the word “thank you” was sent by Yun Yun.
When Li Yiyan saw this message, he found it rather baffling. He furrowed his brows and muttered softly, “What kind of Chinese-English hybrid is this?”
He racked his brains but couldn’t figure it out, so he replied:
Y: What’s this? Practicing English? Or…?
When Yun Yun saw this, she was almost furious. What did he mean by “practicing English”? Even if she were to practice English, she’d practice something more challenging! She certainly wouldn’t start with “thank you”!
Yun Yun: (an angry expression) Do I look that dumb? Even if I were practicing English, it wouldn’t be “thank you,” right??
Seeing Yun Yun’s WeChat message, Li Yiyan could almost picture her angry expression. The corners of his lips lifted slightly. His slender fingers tapped lightly on his phone keyboard.
Y: You do look a bit dumb, so why did you send “thank you”?
Yun Yun automatically ignored Y’s comment about her being a bit dumb—after all, there wasn’t much she could do about it!! So, she had no choice but to take the initiative and clear up his confusion.
Yun Yun: Didn’t you say I couldn’t say “thank you”? So I didn’t say “thank you”—I said “thank you” in English instead. Aren’t I clever?
After seeing Yun Yun’s WeChat message, Li Yiyan remembered the whole thing. He just hadn’t expected Yun Yun to play word games with him.
Li Yiyan found Yun Yun quite amusing. He had been quite tired from work today, but chatting with Yun Yun made his fatigue fade away, and his mood became much more cheerful.
Y: Hmm, clever. So don’t say it again next time. Let me rephrase: from now on, you’re not allowed to express gratitude in any way on WeChat.
When Yun Yun saw this message, her cheerful mood vanished.
Pouting, she typed: Why?
Y: Because I said so. Anyway, that’s settled.
Yun Yun: But you send me so many gifts every day, and they’re not cheap either. I can’t just say nothing, right? My conscience wouldn’t allow it.
Looking at Yun Yun’s WeChat message, Li Yiyan thought she had a point. But he just didn’t want to hear her say thank you, so…
Y: Then from now on, whenever I send you a gift, you can sing me a song. How about that? It doesn’t have to be long—just a few seconds is fine.
Since Yun Yun wanted to express her gratitude, Li Yiyan had no choice but to give her a chance.
But Li Yiyan couldn’t think of any other way. Dancing might be too tiring for her, especially since she’d already been dancing all evening.
So he thought singing was a good idea—Yun Yun wouldn’t get too tired, and he could listen to her voice.What Li Yiyan didn’t know was… making Yun Yun sing was practically asking for her life! After all, our adorable, beautiful, kind, and gentle Yun Yun had been tone-deaf since childhood.
